– Why Counseling? –
People seek out counseling as they are experiencing a problem with work, relationships, family, or, they may be experiencing physical/emotional symptoms stemming from depression, anxiety or past upsetting events.
Together, we will identify what is troubling you, and develop a plan to work towards resolution. You benefit from counseling by practicing new skills, new perceptions or changing your thoughts patterns or habits. The results will be measurable during our work together. You can create a satisfying life through practice and persistence.
– Effective & Measurable –
“Every moment of every day, is a new chance to change.”
I utilize various therapeutic skills during our sessions. It is well known that by creating a vision, with weekly practice of the skills, you can quickly move towards your desired results, with long lasting success.
You will find my counseling style to be active and compassionate. I am honest, ethical, consistent and straight forward. I don’t waste your money or your time.
If you are working with a health professional, I am happy to consult with them to coordinate your treatment.
